Hi, long time no see, Hive

avatar

Some of you may remember me from back in the Steem days. I've stepped away for a while, but I'm excited to return with a new project that aligns with the values I've always championed on this blockchain: transparency, quality, and doing things the right way.

Introducing My Hardware Venture

I'll be launching a small online store focusing on a very specific niche: ethically sourced, meticulously engineered hardware products developed primarily within the European Union. Why this focus?

Reliability Above All: I'm tired of disposable tech. I want to offer products built to last, designed for longevity and resisting planned obsolescence.
Security-Conscious Sourcing: I prioritize minimizing reliance on opaque supply chains and non-transparent core components. Security isn't just about software; it starts with the hardware itself.
Respecting Your Privacy: My store will have an opt-in warranty system. Your transaction history on the blockchain is your proof of purchase – I won't be collecting extra data.
Accountable Business This isn't just a hobby; I'll be formally registering my business and handling all the tax implications.
Launch Product: Raspberry Pi 5 8GB

I'm starting with a product that perfectly embodies my values: the Raspberry Pi 5 8GB. It's open hardware, developed by a UK foundation, and offers fantastic performance and versatility for its size. I'll be focusing specifically on the 8GB version as it provides the best value in the current lineup.

This is Just the Start

Transactions will be through Hive, secured by a smart contract for peace of mind. Think of it as a proof of concept for this model.

Your Feedback Matters

Is this the kind of ethical commerce you want to see more of on Hive? I'm open to suggestions and feedback as I build this out. Stay tuned for the official store announcement soon!
